Montrose, MI, October 28, 2014(PressReleaseCircle) — The Environmental Hygienists Association (E.H.A.) Certified Decontamination Specialist training and certification is ideal and necessary for key personnel, managers, and owners of Indiana mold remediation and water/fire damage restoration companies, fire department rescue squads, public health departments and agencies, hospitals, nursing homes, city building inspection departments, state government administrative officials, city and town government administrative officials, and federal health, safety, and environmental agency personnel.

Training can be entirely distance learning at home or at work with online and textbook study materials, or in combination with three days of intensive classroom and hands-on decontamination equipment training in the E.H.A. training center in Montrose, Michigan, or in special decontamination training seminars that E.H.A. can conduct for company or agency employees in Anderson, Bloomington, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Gary, Goshen, Indianapolis, Kokomo, Lafayette, Muncie, or any other city or town in Indiana.

During the Environmental Hygienists Association online, textbook, and (optional ) in person class training, students master how they can—

1. Prepare and follow a well-thought-out decontamination protocol plan custom-created for the specific home or other building being decontaminated.
2. Wear and use appropriate and complete personal protective gear for total personal safety during environmental inspections and decontamination procedures.
3. Test room and area air for biological dangers such as airborne bacteria, viruses, toxic mold spores, and bioterrorism health threats such as weaponized Anthrax, Small Pox, and special toxic mold spores.
4. Test the outward air from heating and cooling air duct supply registers for elevated levels of airborne bacteria, viruses, toxic mold spores, and bioterrorism health threats such as weaponized Anthrax, Small Pox, and special toxic mold spores.
5. Use a high resolution, 63 feet long fiber optics inspection cable with video camera to visually inspect inside heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and ducts for bacteria, viral, and toxic mold spores infestations.
6. Test the surfaces and the insides of room ceilings, walls, floors, attics, basements, and crawl spaces for biological dangers such as bacteria, Ebola and other viruses, toxic mold spores, and bioterrorism health threats such as weaponized Anthrax, Small Pox, and special toxic mold spores.
7. Use a high resolution infrared camera to scan all floors, walls, ceilings, building exterior, attic, basement, and crawl spaces for hidden moisture (that would indicate possible hidden toxic mold growth).
8. Test the building’s water supply and water storage facilities for biological dangers such as bacteria, Ebola and other viruses, toxic mold spores, and bioterrorism health threats such as weaponized Anthrax, Small Pox, and special toxic mold spores.
9. Test painted older surfaces and building materials for the possible presence of lead.
10. Collect samples of older building materials for asbestos lab analysis.
